Abstract

A method for joining together two pipes or a pipe (53) and a pipe fitting (51) comprises inducing a current in ferromagnetic material (55) located in the region of the joint to be formed. As a result heat is generated to cause melting of the surrounding thermoplastics material and the joint to be effected. The Curie point of the ferromagnetic material is chosen to lie in the range of temperature suitable for fusion jointing the particular material. The change in magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic material if the temperature exceeds the Curie point can be used automatically to control the jointing process or to indicate to the operator that this temperature has been reached.
